Report:

LEGO has always had a strong presence at Star Wars Celebration going back to the early conventions that were held in Denver and Indianapolis. Once again LEGO had a large booth where kids of all ages could build and and watch Star Wars themed LEGO programming as well as shop for their favorite LEGO sets, On the outskirts of the main showroom, the LEGO Builders Group was set up with an AMAZING display of retail LEGO sets as well as large dioramas that recreated legendary scenes from the saga made entirely out of the colorful plastic bricks.

From the Battle of Naboo to the epic showdown between Rey and Kylo Ren in the snowy forests of Starkiller Base, not a single detail was lost in recreating these iconic images. My favorite of all the sets on display was the climatic Battle on Scarif from Rogue One which featured beaches, AT-ACT walkers, Rebels, Stormtroopers, the main satellite array and our Heroes who kept hope alive by choosing to rebel.
